Distance: pixels. Desktop version 1.2.2. 1 pixel = 1,000 km. This 2D visual model illustrates the scale of the sun and planets in our solar system, and their current distance from each other.
(1) It takes about 100 Earths lined up end-to-end to stretch across the surface of the Sun. (2) If you pretend the Sun is a hollow ball, it would take one million Earths to fill it! How Far Away is the Sun? The Sun is 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away from Earth.
Calculate the scaled planet diameters and planet-sun distances for a solar system model. Enter scale or diameter or distance, select to show table and/or map below, select options, then press Calculate. Examples: Scale 1 : 100000000 or Sun Diameter = 10 cm or Neptune Distance from Sun = 1000 ft.
Scale & Size 7.5 - Be able to use information about the scale of the Solar System. Understanding the size differences of objects in the solar system as well as their correct distances from each other is important. There are many good projects that will show you how to make your own scale model.
Scale Model of the Solar System Goals: To get an idea of the scale of the solar system with the sizes of the planets. To be able to correctly change from “real” distances to scale distances. What You Turn In:
Calculator for the distances and sizes in a scale model of the solar system. Such models, which illustrate the proportions in our solar system, in reality are implemented as planetary walks, where you start at a meter high Sun and walk a few kilometers to the only centimeter sized planets.
Using scale models helps us to visualise this. In this project we'll show you how to make a model of the Solar System that shows the distances between the planets to scale. It makes for a fun science and astronomy project for kids, both at home and in school.
